LOTS OF DOLLIES


Been very busy working on a group of 
soft and clay dolls

experiments with porcelain
Since my disasters with mold making
I received a huge chunk of porcelain clay in the mail
plan on sculpting original work
and avoiding mold making for awhile


New

YAY FINISHED TODAY!!!!


All finished today
the best part about mold making
being done
I used plastine clay for walls on the second pour
makes it easy to see which part to pull off first.
So exciting I didn't lose one piece this time
SUCCESS!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR


Started the New Year off with plaster molds
I think the hardest part of making a porcelain doll 
is the plaster molds
but so far so good


it will take me a few days to set up the second part, and 
several of these pieces will need a third part
Mold making is so fun
"not"
